permaculture

[Jocelyn Paquette & Bob Ewing <sixdegrees@baynet.net>]

so we move out of the cities into the rural area  and then what happens 
to the rural areas would they not surpass their carrying capacity?  Here 
in Thunder Bay the population is declining, one reason is that as a 
natural resource extraction economy we are running out of things to chop 
down or dig up. this is an ideal opportunity for designers to show what 
can be done.
